Tax credits - which year?

nicole.17

Hello, can anyone help?

My partner last year April 2012 - April 2013 earnt around £8,000
This year April 2013 - April 2014 he will earn just over £15,000 and will continue to do so in the future.

We live together, and rent a house.

I was at University until February so had no income to include in these figures. We are due a baby any day now, and wanted to know if anyone has been in a similar situation. If so how much child tax/ working tax credits did you get?

I think child tax will be £62 a week, but it's working tax that I am unsure of.

I know we will get child benefit too.
We don't get help with our rent or council tax, will this stay the same once baby is born?

Thanks in advance!
